Jesus Christ, this is the first time the main event is more interesting than the co-main imo and I actually want to see tui fight, but this is not ppv worthy, at all

This week we're without our favorite MMA Wrap up & preview team for review of UFC 305.
MMAHAWK @MMAHAWK is under the weather with the bad AIDS, Monkeypox, and something embarrassing we can't talk about.
Alas Ed Carbajal of Spectation Sports & Coast to Coast Combat Hour gives us his picks in his partner's absence for this weeks show.

Johnny Walkers Bro Valter Walker vs Junior Tafa is gonna be a clash of big boys.

Walker gasses but he is a brute for 2 rounds or so, and Tafa likes to bang.

I'm not sure who I'd pick.

I like ddp and dislike adesanya. I think adesanya can beat ddp, the match up favors adesanya imo.

Rozenstruik/Tuivasa are my #1 interest followed closely by Hooker/Gamrot, which from a skill perspective holds more interest.

I don't really give a shit about either main event fighters. I like Israel's skillset but hate his personality. Dricus is boring to me. I like Robert Whitaker & think he took Dricus too lightly, making it fluke-ish.

The card is fairly average & overall not compelling imo.
Main event contrast in styles could be a boring 1/2 hour filled with disappointment all around, and that's likely. I'll watch anyway.
